Scullery Scul"ler*y (sk[u^]l"l[~e]r*[y^]), n.; pl.
{Sculleries} (sk[u^]l"l[~e]r*[i^]z). [Probably originally, a
place for washing dishes, and for swillery, fr. OE. swilen to
wash, AS. swilian (see {Swill} to wash, to drink), but
influenced either by Icel. skola, skyla, Dan. skylle, or by
OF. escuelier a place for keeping dishes, fr. escuele a dish,
F. ['e]cuelle, fr. L. scutella a salver, waiter (cf.
{Scuttle} a basket); or perhaps the English word is
immediately from the OF. escuelier; cf. OE. squyllare a
dishwasher.]
1. A place where dishes, kettles, and culinary utensils, are
cleaned and kept; also, a room attached to the kitchen,
where the coarse work is done; a back kitchen.
[1913 Webster]
